"drawn from memory, may not be to scale" - classic!!

You can't really go wrong w/ a Santa Cruz, they've been at it for a long time now and create some high quality units.

I think single-pivot bikes ride funny myself, but they are pretty much no maintenance and a lot less $$ and trouble to rebuild if the time comes.

Rip it up man!!

And BTW, hang on to those pedals!! Those are the best SPD pedals Shimano (or anyone else for that matter) ever made. Smoothest operation, and damn near bullet-proof. I have no idea why they shelved this model, nothing Shimano has produced before or since can compare.

Damn! Collarbones are the easiest to bounce back from. Heals quicker than any other bone I thought. Get well soon dude, get back on that thing!

Wildcards are fun bikes. Any Banshee is pretty capable, a lot of my boys out west ride 'em...

That's not what I meant numb-skull.

Milking out means prolonging, kinda like a car repair shop keeping your car longer than necessary so they can charge you more.
